Larry LaPrise

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important man, which almost went unnoticed the other day.

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Cokey" died peacefully at the age of 93.

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.

They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started....

It's only me..

At times I wish I were supremely insecure, so that I could turn my insecurity into a driving ambition to reach some imaginary 'top'.

But so comfortable am I in my skin, so smugly at ease with myself, that I am sentenced to this mediocrity that is my life.
